Honeywell has launched its Sundial RF² wireless enabled heating control packs, which make it very easy to make existing systems energy efficient and more comfortable. Wireless enabled time controllers and wireless thermostats in Sundial RF² packs work together automatically, straight out of the box, so are quick and simple to install. The packs are especially suitable for the 8½ million UK homes which have no room thermostat, so do not meet minimum standards.
Three types of Sundial RF² packs are available to match a heating system’s exact needs. Each pack comprises a wireless enabled time controller, wireless room thermostat, and (in pack 3) a wireless cylinder sensor.
They use TPI (Time Proportional and Integral) advanced energy saving control, which provides more accurate temperature control than traditional home controls and uniquely also matches boiler firing to the load on the system, so the boiler operates much more efficiently.
The two way RF communication used by Honeywell is extremely robust and reliable. A signal strength test feature allows the installer to site the system components where signal reception is strong.
Pack 1 for space heating systems provides the traditional layout of a wireless enabled timeswitch and a separate wireless room thermostat. Pack 2 for systems with space heating and stored hot water has a wireless enabled programmer and a wireless room thermostat. Pack 3 for systems with space heating and stored hot water has a wireless enabled programmer, wireless room thermostat and wireless cylinder sensor.
